The Wimbledon semi-final between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz was halted by medical incidents involving spectators.
High temperatures have once again hit the All England Club and fans on Centre Court have had to deal with the difficult conditions.
Fans struggled with high temperatures during the women’s semi-finals on Thursday as the mercury topped at 31 degrees Celsius in SW19.
The opening set of Aryna Sabalenka’s defeat to Amanda Anisimova was halted as security rushed to the aid of one spectator, with world No.1 Sabalenka also helping out to pass out water and ice packs.
And there were similar scenes during the men’s draw on Friday as Alcaraz and Fritz battled for a place in Sunday’s final.
During the second set of their semi-final clash, one spectator appeared to be struggling with the heat and Fritz had a bottle of water sent over to help.
Alcaraz also expressed his concerns and checked the crowd to ensure they were OK before serving.
Another fan reportedly collapsed in an aisle and was taken out on a stretcher.
Thursday and Friday’s incidents have followed various pauses in play throughout the tournament due to the heatwave in the UK.
Andre Agassi, who won in 1992, said on commentary for the BBC: “People worry about the players in these conditions but we train for this, we prepare for this.
“You get someone who comes to Wimbledon first time or tenth time, it doesn’t matter, they’re in a very enthusiastic atmosphere,
“Having their champagne or their Pimms and they’re sitting in the sun and it’s baking them and quite honestly as players you worry about them.”
